Arghhh! Slugs!

ive recently brought my (now 7ft monster) and her sister into my closet for flowering, all was going really well until "the mites" appeared, thanx to my local grow shop i had that problem sorted within hours. now its about week 3 in flowering and all of a sudden ive got silver shiney slug trails on my leave's. i killed 2 the other day but im worried i might have more in the soil ( as they where grown outdoors ).

what can i do to stop these barstwards?

I alse have some very small ( about 1-2 mm long ) bugs that are on my soil, they seem grey in colour and can either fly or jump very high/far. ive never seen them actually on the plant/leave's and im guessing there not harmful, but would sum1 mind telling me what these are please?

Put a thin layer of very fine sand on the soil/medium around the stem of your plant(s) covering at least a foot from the stem. This should kill any larvae and stop any other slugs coming near. A small amount of salt wont hurt either.

Beer. Put a dish of beer out. Slugs crawl right into it.

It also attracts many more bugs that prefer the plant that the beer has been placed next to.

ty for your advice, i have some fine sharp sand i can use, my landlady ( the star she is for letting me grow ) says to use broken egg shells around the stem or to cut a plastic bottle up so its a cylinder with a hole at each end and put it round the stem with sharp edge's sticking up ( thats what she does on her rose's ).

So what about these little jumping/flying things? they look like silver fish but a lil bit greyer.

Whatever they are and eggs will be killed under the sand as it doesnt let oxygen penetrate to them apparently.
